    It is the right and proper thing to do, revoking security clearances upon termination. This is NOT a new idea. How many people after leaving a job are allowed to keep keys to the building or passwords or even access? Answer: NONE. It is not a retaliatory act, it is good business practice.

    That leaves the final option: The president could claim the inherent constitutional authority to revoke the clearance eligibility of each of the individuals without any due process. There is no precedent for such an action, as no president (at least as far as I am aware) has ever personally intervened in the clearance revocation (or approval) of an individual. That has never happened before because past presidents—whatever their flaws or scandals—knew there were certain institutional norms and customs that a president simply should not disturb.

    Why Trump would share highly classified secrets with the Russians

    05/16/17 08:00 AM—UPDATED 05/16/17 10:54 AM



    By Steve Benen
    Three months ago today, the Wall Street Journal reported that U.S. intelligence officials “have withheld sensitive intelligence from President Donald Trump because they are concerned it could be leaked or compromised.” This was about competence, not politics: U.S. intelligence had serious concerns about the American president’s “trustworthiness” and “discretion.”





    THE RACHEL MADDOW SHOW, 5/15/17, 9:00 PM ET
    WaPo: Trump shares highly classified info with Russian officials


    As you may have heard, the Washington Postpublished a stunning report late yesterday that suggests those fears were well grounded.
    President Trump revealed highly classified information to the Russian foreign minister and ambassador in a White House meeting last week, according to current and former U.S. officials, who said Trump’s disclosures jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State.

    The information the president relayed had been provided by a U.S. partner through an intelligence-sharing arrangement considered so sensitive that details have been withheld from allies and tightly restricted even within the U.S. government, officials said.
    It’s difficult to overstate just how serious developments like these are. The Wall Street Journal – one of several major U.S. outlets to confirm the accuracy of the story – added, “According to one U.S. official, the information shared was highly sensitive and difficult to acquire and was considered extraordinarily valuable.”

    And yet, the president apparently gave it away to an adversary in exchange for nothing. In the process, Trump compromised national security, mishandled extremely sensitive information, infuriated an ally, and sent a signal to the world that the United States, at least in the Trump era, cannot be trusted to safeguard secrets.



    The President decides what to say and what not to say.
    Liberals are a clear and present danger to our nation
    Pick your enemies carefully.

    The real question should be: how did a guy who voted for a commie during the cold war get a clearanace and the CIA job to start with.
